Along with his wife of 50 years, the couple had three children, who all stayed in El Salvador. He sent money back to his family from his work in Sacramento.
The lawsuit accuses La Paz of not properly embalming the remains and that the body was left unrefrigerated for a prolonged period, court documents allege. Due to the condition of his remains, the family was unable to hold an open-casket funeral.
The lawsuit accuses La Paz of failings including sending the wrong body; delaying the proper shipment; mishandling Francisco's remains, resulting in decomposition and an unviewable body; failing to properly embalm and preserve Francisco's body; mishandling transportation and storage of the body. "The family didn't get answers, and part of the reason they wanted to file this lawsuit was to get those answers," said Rob Marcerau, the family's attorney in this case. CBS13 contacted La Paz Funeral Services, and its owner, about this lawsuit and the claims, but did not receive a statement on Wednesday. The funeral home's attorney did confirm to CBS13 La Paz Funeral Services is still in business.
